The Silent Number

Posted: 2009-07-25

YouTube has had groups for a while, but they're pretty much closed off from the rest of the site and completely useless. There isn't even a way to search through them! Their new channel design layout has two modules that i've noticed: one called "Groups", and the other called "User uploads". When i select one of them, the other one is automatically removed, and neither one seems to actually add or remove anything from my channel page. I'm not sure why they can't both be enabled at the same time since "Groups" and "User uploads" hardly sound like they would be conflicting, but this does suggest that YouTube is actually working on becoming even more social and making groups useful. Does anybody actually have either of these enabled and showing up on their channel pages?
